To me, what you are saying seems more complicated.
Yet you are trying to make it complicated. FlyersFan says the Old Testment is "a load of hogwash" when God used Moses to write the first five books of the Bible: thus he rejects Jesus Christ!
OK, that may be a class that you took, but I think it has to be relegated to personal opinion rather than a biblical teaching.
No hell is not my interpretation, it is orthodox Christianity 101. The Denial of hell makes a person a heretic. That is the end the matter.
The name of God is Jesus.
We understand Jesus, as Christians, by how He is revealed through the scriptures.

If you do not believe Moses or the other prophets then you will not be able to believe Jesus!

There has to be some other step of logic to make sense, that just isn't there.

She isn't she is a Christian who uses her god given mind to question what others tell her..unlike yourself who have swallowed it all hook line and sinker.
She has plenty of evidence of her claims about the Bible in her threads.
She has been a missionary (of sorts If I remember) and met mother Theresa.
You? born again christian whom had no imagination so just went for the most popular...pfft.
Please hop off now with your hatetheist bigotry.
No, I just don't think that was what Jesus was talking about when he said "outer darkness" in his parables.
The only reason I could think that you would reject the biblical teaching on hell is because you may have accepted the new-age heresy of universalism.
No, I'm saying that Jesus said that as an application to the situation that he found himself in, and is not somehow transferable to the present.
So are you calling Jesus Christ a liar when he said if you reject what Moses and the prophets say you won't be able to believe what He says?
I just said, No.
Do you deny the biblical teaching on Hell?

Saying Genesis and Noahs Ark never happened is just your assertion. You have not provided any evidence for that.
Pando (Latin for "I spread"), also known as The Trembling Giant,[1][2] is a clonal colony of a single male quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) determined to be a single living organism by identical genetic markers[3] and one massive underground root system. The plant is estimated to weigh collectively 6,000,000 kg (6,600 short tons),[4] making it the heaviest known organism.[5] The root system of Pando, at an estimated 80,000 years old, is among the oldest known living organisms.[6][7]
Pando is located 1 mile southwest of Fish Lake on Utah route 25.[8] in the Fremont River Ranger District of the Fishlake National Forest, at the western edge of the Colorado Plateau in South-central Utah, at N 38.525 W 111.75.
If the 2350 date were correct, then human civilization would’ve had to undergo an extreme population explosion in the millenium following the flood. According to Biblical sources, there would have been millions of Jews leaving Egypt, so assuming a global population of 40 million around that time (~1350 BC), and comparing that to global population estimates later in history (an estimated 200+ million by 0 AD), would require an incredibly high population growth between 2350 BC and 1350 BC (5,000,000 fold increase in 1,000 years), and a much lower population growth after 1350 BC – usually less than 5 fold population growth within any 1,000 year period between 1350 BC and 1800 AD.
(3) The distribution of animals is not what we would expect if there were a global flood killing all life. If all life was limited to the top of a mountain in the Middle East in 2350 B.C., then how to explain the distribution of animals across the world? All the kangaroos on the Ark went to Australia? How did the animals get to the Americas? If they crossed via an ice-bridge in the Bering Strait, then the Americas should be limited to animals that are warm blooded and capable of traveling hundreds of miles across snow. This means no reptiles, no spiders, etc. Yet, the Amazon contains a wide variety of animal biodiversity. And why didn’t American desert animals stay behind in the deserts of the Old World? (See related post: “Creationism versus Animal Biodiversity”)
(4) Genetic evidence shows that human beings are far to genetically diverse to be descended from a single family in 2350 B.C. If Noah’s Ark were true, then all men alive today would’ve gotten their Y-chromosomes from Noah, and all human mitochondrial DNA would come from Noah’s wife and the three daughter-in-laws. Studies of the human Y-Chromosome show that you’d need far more than 4,300 years to accumulate that many mutations. Human beings could not be descended from a single male in 2350 B.C. What the studies show, instead, is that, in order to explain the number of mutations in the human Y-Chromosome, you have to allow for roughly 60,000-90,000 years. Similarly, human mitochondrial DNA requires roughly 160,000 years to accumulate that many mutations — showing that Eve could not have lived 6,000 years ago as the Bible says.
Additionally, once the animals left the Ark, there are a lot of nearby regions they could inhabit, but didn’t. For example, all varieties of rattlesnakes are found in the Americas (33 species, and numerous subspecies). There are none in the Old World – despite the fact that there are regions similar to the American deserts – the Sahara, the Middle East, the Gobi Desert, etc. Llamas fit this same pattern – found in the New World, but not in the Old World. The Caucus (where the Ark supposedly landed) and Himalaya mountains have different species than the Rocky Mountains and Andes. Why didn’t some of the Rocky Mountain species stick around in the Caucus Mountains – they were already there the minute they stepped off the Ark. Similarly, the species in the South American tropics aren’t found in Old World tropics (Southeast Asia and Africa), and vice-versa. For example, New World cats and monkeys are different species than Old World cats and monkeys. Theoretically, with the movement of creatures caused by the global flood, one could find the same species living in distant places. Somehow, we don’t.
When you call Moses a liar you essentially call Jesus one too.
Jesus believed in Genesis, Adam and Eve, and Noahs Ark.
Why don't you just admit your a God hating atheist and stop playing games?

The Seculars' vocation is to live the Carmelite spirituality as Seculars and not as mere imitators of Carmelite monastic life.[6] With the Friars and Nuns, they assist the Order in drawing the Church into an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ and His Mother, Mary, Mother and Queen of Carmel. They are apostles of contemplative prayer, but also live intense lives of charity in their common occupations
